Georgia's opposition leader arrested by police during intensifying government crackdown on protests

Protests in Georgia have been ongoing for six consecutive nights in the capital city Tbilisi, with thousands of people rallying against the governing party Georgian Dream's decision to suspend talks on joining the European Union. Police have responded with force, firing tear gas and water cannon to disperse the crowds. Some protesters have thrown fireworks and constructed barricades. Nika Gvamaria, a member of an opposition party, was beaten unconscious by police.
